I've been so broke for so long... today I sorta snapped.
Today's my 4th anniversary and I decided to walk over to the outlets and see if they had anything I could get as a gift to hubby. They have a huge culinary store, and I found the perfect gift for a so-so price. I could have gotten the same thing at Bed Bath & Beyond for a similar price on sale.
Leaving the culinary store, I noticed a HUGE sale at the Aigner outlet.... $68 shoes for $20!!! Woohooo!! I saw several pairs I'd love to have, but being cautious I chose the one pair I fell in love with... the heal is comfy, they are sleek and can be worn with ANY of my work clothes.

The best part? TOE CLEVAGE! :D :D :D Gosh I miss shoes with toe clevage. It was out of style for so long. Best part #2? They are for work, so its a Business Expense! ;)
Then I decided since I was shoping for me, I might as well shop!
So I stopped at the clothing outlet and found a $58 skirt for $9! A $35 white sweater for $5 (ok, so it has a dopey sweater material bow on the neckline... its getting yanked off!) I know the prices were real too... the skirt I bought for $9? I'd had my eye on it for nearly a year! Almost fell over when MY size and MY color was still there!
So now I'm sitting here feeling oh-so guilty over spending so much money on clothing and shoes :rolleyes:
BUT hubby saw me trying on the skirt to figure out what in my closet works with it, and he LOVED it. He NEVER comments on my clothing unless its something amazingly nice or pathetically bad. He said I should wear it out to dinner tomorrow night (we're doing anniversary dinner tomorrow night since my daughter had a soccer game tonight)
Sorry for the gushing... I'm so excited. I know I can't afford it right now, but I did it anyway.
